I already have! :smile: x
I think even if I started revision years before the exam, I would never feel fully prepared! :tongue: I guess that feeling of nervousness comes from the fact you don't know what questions will be asked, but it seems like you're on the right track already by condensing your notes. An effective technique for recall questions is to revise with your friends and create a big list of questions to test each other on. This works well because you're actually speaking out loud, for some people this is how they learn best. Good luck with exams! :redface:

try different ways to revise
make flashcards
stick posters on your walls
read your notes aloud
look at your notes then cover them to see what you remember
make mindmaps after revision to see how much you have learnt
there are loads of ways

I think to memorize or revise your notes, you should try saying your notes out loud, after that you should teach it someone in order to remember it better.
